John Smith Trust Wider Europe & Central Asia Programme 2021

Deadline: Open

The Fellowship is a unique career enhancing and potentially life changing opportunity. As part of the JST Fellowship Programme, you will learn about the UK’s experiences (good and bad) of how a mature democracy deals with social justice and the rule of law in both theoretical and practical terms.

The Programme provides a supportive and challenging environment in which to develop knowledge, ideas and leadership skills, and creates important networks and relationships. You will have the chance to make lifelong friendships and invaluable professional contacts. After completion, you will become part of the John Smith Alumni Network which spans over 20 countries and territories, connecting leaders from government, civil society organisations and the private sector

The JST Fellowship Programme provides exceptional young leaders the opportunity to explore issues of governance, social justice and the rule of law through a month of workshops, discussions, debates, visits and meetings in the United Kingdom. The programme aims to inspire and equip young and potential leaders to make a positive contribution to their societies. Applications are open to citizens of WIDER EUROPE (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, or Ukraine) OR CENTRAL ASIA (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan). John Smith Fellows can come from any field, particularly politics, public administration, the media, civil society, law, and business – if a clear link is made to JST themes. The age band of Fellows is normally 25 to 35 years.
